Gross-Up Waiver Clause Samples

A Gross-Up Waiver clause is a contractual provision where one party agrees not to require the other party to increase payments to cover any taxes or deductions imposed by law. In practice, this means that if taxes are withheld from a payment, the recipient cannot demand additional funds to make up for the shortfall caused by the withholding. The core function of this clause is to allocate the risk of tax deductions to the recipient, ensuring that the payer's financial obligation remains fixed and predictable regardless of tax changes.
